Careers

The Careers Portfolio acts as an important conduit between the UWA student body and the legal profession. The portfolio provides valuable networking opportunities for professionals and students alike over the course of the year.

In 2024, these opportunities will be provided through:

The Perth Law Careers Fair, an unique opportunity to connect with hundreds of eager and engaged law students;
The Careers Handbook, a Blackstone publication that showcases the various career pathways available to law students;
Careers Presentations and Networking Events that give students and professionals the chance to meet one another. This Includes Careers Presentations;
The Mid-Year Careers Fair, is a valuable opportunity to meet and engage more intimately with UWA students immediately before clerkship applications are due; and
A Speed Interview Evening to provide students with a helpful insight into the interview process and give firms the preliminary opportunity to screen prospective applicants.

If you have any questions, please contact the Careers VP, Max Wilson.
